| Gushul Studio Open House, Blairmore, AB Sat, Sept 26 from 4-6 pm Karen Arrowsmith, myself (Eileen Gidman), and Kristen Lyttle warmly invite you to attend and view their art: watercolour paintings, painted textiles and Maori weaving |
I'm in the third week of my art residency and I continue to paint plein air everyday rain or shine. This week it seemed to be about cows.
The DU ranch has a preserved log homestead on their land. After painting for the morning, it was a delight to walk down the hill to the log cabin for a close up viewing. Can you see the cows far in the distance?
Yesterday, in order to get the cows this big in my painting, I had to sit on the edge of a secondary highway. Amazingly when you are painting, it is easy to ignore the distractions of the zooming vehicles. Someone from Washington stopped to ask for directions and I am happy to say I was able to help them. I'm getting to know this Crowsnest Pass. They didn't even ask to see my painting. Hmmm.....
This is what I painted today. I thought I would switch the colours up and I chose a split complement: purple with yellow-green and orange-yellow. What do you think?

I love your split complement trees, Eileen - it's a wonderful colour combination to perfectly capture this time of year. I'm smiling at the pair of cows who visited you after your stint of cow painting - what a compliment that was to your artistry!
These are gorgeous Eileen! I am particularly drawn to the first painting. I'm chuckling that the curious cows showed up to take a peek!
Hi Eileen! Love the tree painting, beautiful colours combined together.
